Elfredda
Elfredda Origin and Meaning
Elfredda is a rare feminine name with Germanic roots, derived from the Old English name Ælfthryth, combining elements meaning 'elf' or 'magical being' and 'strength.' It's a variant of Elfreda or Alfreda, which are themselves feminine forms of Alfred. This name carries ancient connotations of magical power and resilience. Elfredda has never been common in modern times, remaining outside the top 1000 names in the United States throughout recorded naming history. The distinctive double 'd' spelling adds a unique touch to this already uncommon name. Parents might choose Elfredda for its vintage appeal, mythological connections, or to honor an ancestor named Alfred. The name has a quaint, fairytale quality that stands out in contemporary naming landscapes.
